mm: Introduce memory reliable
hulk inclusion category: feature bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4PM01 CVE: NA -------------------------------- Introduction ============ Memory reliable feature is a memory tiering mechanism. It is based on kernel mirror feature, which splits memory into two sperate regions, mirrored(reliable) region and non-mirrored (non-reliable) region. for kernel mirror feature: - allocate kernel memory from mirrored region by default - allocate user memory from non-mirrored region by default non-mirrored region will be arranged into ZONE_MOVABLE. for kernel reliable feature, it has additional features below: - normal user tasks never alloc memory from mirrored region with userspace apis(malloc, mmap, etc.) - special user tasks will allocate memory from mirrored region by default - tmpfs/pagecache allocate memory from mirrored region by default - upper limit of mirrored region allcated for user tasks, tmpfs and pagecache Support Reliable fallback mechanism which allows special user tasks, tmpfs and pagecache can fallback to alloc non-mirrored region, it's the default setting. In order to fulfil the goal - ___GFP_RELIABLE flag added for alloc memory from mirrored region. - the high_zoneidx for special user tasks/tmpfs/pagecache is set to ZONE_NORMAL. - normal user tasks could only alloc from ZONE_MOVABLE. This patch is just the main framework, memory reliable support for special user tasks, pagecache and tmpfs has own patches. To enable this function, mirrored(reliable) memory is needed and "kernelcore=reliable" should be added to kernel parameters.
